Wiggling Worm Cufflinks by Tabitha Higgins
Pin It
$280
Tabitha Higgins designed these unorthodox cufflinks awhile ago, and when asked, she didn't quite recall her inspiration. As you probably all know, i
n most English speaking countries "@" is called "the at sign." So we asked ourselves what can we say about an "@?"
You'd be surprised! Apparently an "@" is not always an "at."
Afrikaans - In South Africa, it is called aapstert, meaning "monkey's tail"
Danish - It is called snabel-a, meaning "elephant's trunk" or grisehale, meaning "pig's tail"
French - In France, it is sometimes called escargot, meaning "snail" or petit escargot, meaning "little snail"
Greek - In Greece, it is called papaki, meaning "little duck"
Hungarian - In Hungary, it is called a kukac, meaning "worm" or "maggot" . . .
now that's just gross!
Polish - In Poland, it can be referred to as kotek, meaning "little cat" and ucho s'wini, meaning "pig's ear"
Thai - There is no official word for it in Thai, but it is often called ai tua yiukyiu, meaning "the wiggling worm-like character".
Wiggling worm? We like that! Maybe the special man in your life will too?
These substantial, hand-crafted enamel on sterling silver cufflinks come in five colours: yellow, orange, green, cobalt blue, and turquoise. Please select colour preference in order notes.
Some of you may have read about one of our very good jeweller friends, Tabitha Higgins. Tabitha designed a beautiful bangle that Katrin loves to wear, and has designed many more pieces Katrin would love to own.
Since Tabitha doesn't currently have an online shop, we're happy to feature her in ours! These cufflinks are available for a limited time only. For all orders between now and 1 September, we'll throw in Express Overnight shipping within Australia for the cost of normal shipping ($8). Please note that Australia Post Guaranteed Overnight Delivery only applies to major metro areas. For most non-metro areas, delivery is 2nd Day.
